have you heard the news?
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 12:49 AM matchbook launched today!! I'm delighted and proud to call Fallon and Katie (her illustrations are the best thing since a bellini at Harry's Bar) my teammates, and there is no one in the world I'd rather have embarked on this venture with than Kate. She makes 3am conference calls a delight! I look forward to designing monthly issues, brimming with everything we love, from letterpress to lela rose to 50 classics for your closet. Well, now you know where I've been hiding:) Here are a few of my favorite snippets from our premier issue, but you simply must see for yourself!

YAY!!! love it!
I am in love!! This is the loveliest, and I mean, loveliest magazine I have ever been honored to read. Thank you so very much for your hard work. Would it be permissable if I posted your "What is a Matchbook Girl" image on my blog with a link to your magazine?
I'm madly in love with all the images I've seen here! Somehow I know I won't be very productive today at work...I'll be too busy poring over the new Matchbook Mag!
I readd it on a rainy day in London and I LOVED IT. When is the next one out? Oh my goodness it is SO BEAUTIFUL. Thank you and millions of congratulations!
LOVE IT! I have to admit I was holding my breath as I've been disappointed in the past with on-line magazines but yours really takes the cake. Congrats! I linked to it today: http://stellaholiday.blogspot.com/2011/01/cupcake-cafe.html xo

THANK YOU ALL for your sweet sweet comments! And you are most certainly welcome to use images and post away! In fact, we encourage it:)

Jane,
What a fabulous magazine! I have read magazines far and wide for many years but I have to say Matchbook is my all time favorite! If you ever decide to do a print option (like lonny) I would order each one to keep and savor for years to come. Well done!

Jane, you should be so proud. When I went through the premiere issue, I said to myself, "this is easily the best digital magazine I've ever read." Bravo to the moon and back again!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all... your comments really mean so much!! xox
Just checked out the magazine and I'm totally blown away by the quality and quantity of information you present. I love it!
LOVE this! It's all so classic, and darling, and Kate Spadey. Congrats on your first issue! It's simply lovely.
